<p>I did not say that the material itself decides who will do well and who won’t, so I’m not going to respond to that, read more carefully…I said material taught with ‘high standards’…I agree it’s relative, Stanford does have higher standards than community college.</p>
<p>Yes, if a student scores much lower than others they should receive a lower grade than the others, any further explanation of this is just plain ridiculous</p>
<p>Are you saying if student x takes a class for the first time in the spring and gets an A, had that same student taken it in the fall they would have gotten an F?? </p>
<p>I’d like to see where this conversation goes before I reply to your argument that the ‘nature of the curve’ ensures that x students will fail no matter what</p>
